Designer Studio-Session planning

Participating in the Designers Studio Session Planning on April 4 was a fun and rewarding experience. Together with The Creative Arts Club of Padron Campus, I helped facilitate teaching students how to build their own origami pavilions. We guided them through the step-by-step folding process, showing them how simple paper folds can achieve creative architectural forms. Seeing their focus and interest grow as they developed their buildings was exciting. Even though they were working on the same design idea, each infused a little of themselves with their colors and careful attention to detail. This lesson was a great example of how hands-on learning can bring about design in an accessible and enjoyable way for young learners. It made me appreciate how critical creativity in school is and how amazingly powerful it can feel to help kids do something using their hands.

Participating in the Designers Studio Session Planning on February 7, alongside The Creative Arts Club of Padron Campus, was a fun and meaningful experience. I had the opportunity to help teach 5th-grade students how to create their own logos, guiding them through design basics and encouraging them to express their ideas visually. It was inspiring to see how eager and creative the students were and how quickly they picked up on concepts like symbolism, color choice, and shape. Working with them reminded me of how significant early exposure to the arts can be in helping young minds grow in confidence and imagination. Being part of this collaborative event allowed me to share what I’ve learned. It gave me a fresh perspective on how design can empower people of all ages to communicate their identities and passions uniquely.
